1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPatients with chronic inflammatory skin disease (CISD) have potential risk factors for herpes zoster (HZ). However, little is known about HZ risk in CISD.

objectiveTo determine whether CISD is associated with HZ.

methodsData were analyzed from the 2002 to 2012 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a representative cohort of US hospitalizations (N = 68,088,221 children and adults).

resultsIn multivariable logistic regression models including age, sex, race/ethnicity, insurance, household income, and long-term systemic corticosteroid use, hospitalization for HZ was associated with atopic dermatitis (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 1.38 [1.14-1.68]), psoriasis (4.78 [2.83-8.08]), pemphigus (1.77 [1.01-3.12]), bullous pemphigoid (1.77 [1.01-3.12]), mycosis fungoides (3.79 [2.55-5.65]), dermatomyositis (7.31 [5.27-10.12]), systemic sclerosis (1.92 [1.47-2.53]), cutaneous lupus erythematosus (1.94 [1.10-3.44]), vitiligo (2.00 [1.04-3.85]), and sarcoidosis (1.52 [1.22-1.90]). Only lichen planus (crude odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 3.01 [1.36-6.67]), Sézary syndrome (12.14 [5.20-28.31]), morphea (2.74 [1.36-5.51]), and pyoderma gangrenosum (2.44 [1.16-5.13]) showed increased odds in bivariable models. Sensitivity analyses among those younger than 60 and younger than 50 years showed similar results. Predictors of HZ in CISD included female sex, fewer chronic conditions, and long-term systemic corticosteroid use. LIMITATIONS: Cross-sectional study.

conclusionsMany CISDs are associated with increased hospitalization for HZ, even below the ages recommended for HZ vaccination. Additional studies are needed to establish CISD-specific vaccination guidelines.
